I lit out from I lit out from NOLA, I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didn’t get to sleep last night till the morning came around
Set out runnin but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mineReno, I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didn’t get to sleep last night till the morning came around
Set out runnin but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
Got a tip they're kicking the door in again
I'd like to get some sleep before I travel
But if you got a warrant I guess you're gonna come in
Busted - down on Bourbon Street
Set up - like a bowling pin
Knocked down - it gets to wearing thin
They just won't let you be
The Dead must have had some experiences in New Orleans. NOLA was not exactly a hippie friendly place to be back then.
